Intel x86 bare metal hypervisor for researching snapshot fuzzing ideas.
The blog describing the development can be found here
The underlying kernel for this hypervisor is Orange Slice by Brandon Falk and the packet structure for network traffic is a fork of smoltcp.
Ensure i586-pc-windows-msvc
and x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
toolchains are installed and running nightly Rust.

Download LLVM and have lld-link
in the path.
Download NASM and have nasm
in the path.
Change the IP address in tftp-server/src/main
to bind to the wanted network address.
> cargo run
Snapshots are currently gathered from VirtualBox.
After snapshotting from VirtualBox, place the result of writecore
at snapshot/snapshot.dmp
and the result of .pgmphystofile
at snapshot/snapshot.phys
. These paths are hard coded and are required for most of the utilities.
Copy barberslice.boot
and barberslice.kern
to a TFTPD server folder configured for PXE booting. Also set the PXE boot filename to barberslice.boot
in your DHCP server.
The kernel can be tested in Bochs before testing on bare metal.
bochs -q -f emu/bochsrc
Be sure to change the following lines of the bochsrc
to point to your local Bochs install:
romimage: file="C:\Users\user\git\bochs\bios\BIOS-bochs-latest", address=0x0, options=none
vgaromimage: file="C:\Users\user\git\bochs\bios\VGABIOS-lgpl-latest"
ata0-master: type=cdrom, path="C:\Users\user\git\barberslice\ipxe\src\bin\ipxe.iso", status=inserted
e1000: enabled=1, mac=52:54:00:12:34:56, ethmod=vnet, ethdev="C:\Users\user\git\barberslice\emu"
iPXE build is included if wanted to test in Bochs using PXE.
On linux:
sudo apt-get install liblzma liblzma-dev isolinux mkisofs
git clone https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe
cd ipxe/src
make bin/ipxe.iso EMBED=../../emu/boot.ipxe
check_address
: Return the module+offset and instruction for a given address from the current snapshotcorpgen
: Generates serialized corpus for shipping to the kernelcoverage
: Dumpmodule+offset
coverage file to load into lighthousediverage
: Legacy utility used to diff awindbg
single step trace and a trace dumped from Barberslicefind_input
: Return all generated files that hit a given addressparse_trace
: Parses the trace format sent from the hypervisor into a human readable formpci-ids-parser
: Parser for dumping PCI information that was going to be added to the kernel (but never was)snapshot
: Parses the VirtualBox core dump file and dumps the register state for the kernel to use.tftp-server
: Custom TFTP server for communicating with the hypervisor

The utilities also have READMEs giving a high level overview of what the tool is used for.
